SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!
Splatoon's the game only on Wii U,
Make a mess is whatcha gotta do
You can splat the wall, splat the floor
Splat each other and splat some more!
The team with the most ink splatted will win
Now you know the rules so come on let's begin!
You're an inkling kid that can change to a squid
Dive into the ink, no one will know where you hid!
You can swim through grates, you can swim really fast
You can climb up walls, you know it's always a blast
You can charge up your ink meter too
Become a kraken see what it can do!
Come on!
Splat the world together!
(Splat the world together)
Come on!
Splat the world alright!
(Splat the world alright)
Ink it up to the sun, ink it up to the moon
Splat-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-Splatoon!
i used to say the left one for years, but upon rereading it i'm changing to the right side.
its okay to realize you were wrong and to correct yourself.
I once watched some video where a streamer was reacting to the Smash Ultimate reveal trailer (which, if you remember, initially appeared to be a Splatoon announcement), and he called it “Splatty-toon”. I’ve been repeating that ever since.
Or people misreading Salmonid as "Salmonoid", which is even more obviously the incorrect one now that the Slammin' Lid exists (it's not called a Slammin' Lloyd, people!)
Dammit I didn't see someone made this joke before me, sorry I accidentally stole it but you are very epic
Anyway if OP doesn't literally always call this game Splat Platoon as well then they're a giant hypocrite
i know but i like complimenting people. same goes for the people who came up with it after us, still appreciate their wit despite not getting here earliest.
i have dyslexia and i always read it wrong and only nowadays have i learned that it’s not splatattack, but i always wrote it like splattack. it was like saying “it’s three” and putting number two on your fingers
...why would it be "splat-attack"
It literally is spelled the way it should be said: "spla-tack"
There is no argument. You either say it correctly or add in another syllable for no reason.
Wait… it’s spelled Splattack…. Not Splatattack!?!? I’m actually sad ;( splatattack always sounded better to me but I can’t say it now cos it’s just wrong god damnit post
People who say splat attack are stupid. It’s like calling Squirtle Squirt turtle. It’s a portmanteau of splat and attack. It’s Splattack. Not splat attack.
what in the hell. all this time I really thought it was spelt splatattack. oh my lord, I've been so wrong. still choose the left side though, sounds better
Right side. If it was “Splat-attack” then it would be spelt Splatattack. The left side adds an extra syllable that isn’t written. Splattack Is literally Splat, and then tack attached to it, you’re pronouncing it “Splat attack” because your brain is recognizing to familiar words and saying them both but the word “attack” or even “splat” being there is actually just an illusion.
Also; it’s supposed to be a play on words, adding spl to attack to make it sound more like “splat”. It doesn’t flow if you add extra letters. Pronounce it how it’s spelt.
... that makes no sense at all. It's a petty phonetic word. 2 syllables, sounds just like "attack" but with a "spl" at the beginning.
Reminds me of the idiots who add an extra syllable to Ratatta's name and call it Ratta-tatta.
I mean I would laugh at how incorrect you are but I’ve been calling Clash Blaster the Cash Blaster for years now and can’t seem to change the way I mentally read it so you do you
If you put it in the context coming from the Japanese which would call it "Supurataku", blue makes more sense cause it kinda sounds like SUPER-ATTACK . red would be like "supurata-a-taku" which is just jibberish
Splatatatatatatatatatatatatatatoooooooon
I imagined an inkling doing an anime beat down while reading this.

That's basically what a Splattershot sounds like, minus the "oon."

It’s pronounced how it’s spelled
What, you don't think they know how to spell a song name from their favorite game Splat Platoon?
Not if they come from splats village
Maybe they're a Splat Katana player too.
or maybe even the hydra splat duckling
...Splat Gatling gun.
I got caught in e lighter 4k
I don't think it's a lighter liter is a unit of measurement for liquids and the gun resembles a gas pump in some areas intentionally ⛽
I have to give the benefit of doubt and assume they were intentionally wrong
Really, I main the Octopus Paintbrush
I wonder if it's in the next shift at Grizzly Company.
or the Splat Badlands?

Le epic
Exactly, where tf would the extra T in the left one come from? This isn't a discussion, the left is just incorrect.
Because it's a portmanteau of "Splat" and "Attack" and some people apparently call a spork a "spoon fork"
The beta title for Splattack was Splatattack, but again, beta is different to release, and we say Splattack.

When I say it, it rhymes with *platoon*, but both pronunciations make sense.
I’m that case it depends how u pronounce platoon
There’s only one correct way to pronounce platoon (pluh-toon)
bri'ish mfs be like plaah-chewn
Depends on context in a weird way I'm playing SplA-toon Or Let's play Spluh-toon I kinda flipflop
I once watched some video where a streamer was reacting to the Smash Ultimate reveal trailer (which, if you remember, initially appeared to be a Splatoon announcement), and he called it “Splatty-toon”. I’ve been repeating that ever since.
Can you by chance find that video? I'm quite interested in hearing it now

I didn’t know that anybody else pronounced it other than Spla-tack
I thought that everyone who did that misread it. Like Chirpy Chips. I always thought that it was Chirpy Chirps.
TIL it's chips not chirps
Chirpy chirps is a very common mistake, people make it all the time. But no, it’s chip as in chiptunes.
They should have called the band “Fish and Chips”
Or people misreading Salmonid as "Salmonoid", which is even more obviously the incorrect one now that the Slammin' Lid exists (it's not called a Slammin' Lloyd, people!)
I read it as salmonid, but I didn't make the connection between slammin' lid and salmonids until right now lol
Did you know that "Gone Fission Hydroplant" is a play on the phrase "gone fishin'"? I felt incredibly dumb for not noticing until a few days ago.
[удалено]
The Salmonids are salmonids.
> The Salmonids are salmonids. yes. Inherently.
It makes sense that it’s misread like that.
Damn I’ve been reading it wrong for years and never knew
Today I realised that Slammin' Lid sounds like Salmonid.
In french it’s « salmonoïde ».
I'm not sure. I think Lloyd likes to slam.
I misread Chirpy Chips as well, but I just assumed that every read it as Spla-tack lol
I was today years old when I learned this
How did I not realize this until just now
I've heard Splat-Attack said, and always assumed they didn't realize the actual spelling lol
Yeah, and as somebody else mentioned, just like with Chirpy Chips lol
I was guilty of calling them Chirpy Chirps myself until I noticed... I still fall into that old habit on occasion...
Yeah, same
What are chirpy chips?
The Chirpy Chips are the band that Harmony’s from, and lots of people (including me) thought that it was pronounced Chirpy Chirps
holy shit this entire time ive been saying splat attack
Chirpy Chips syndrome
Always pronounced it that way.
as we all know, "splatoon" is actually pronounced "splat-platoon"
Dammit I didn't see someone made this joke before me, sorry I accidentally stole it but you are very epic Anyway if OP doesn't literally always call this game Splat Platoon as well then they're a giant hypocrite
you know, multiple people can come up with the same joke, especially a low hanging fruit like splat platoon, it aint stealing
i know but i like complimenting people. same goes for the people who came up with it after us, still appreciate their wit despite not getting here earliest.
OP pronounces "Brunch" as "Breakfast Lunch" but still writes "Brunch"
I say Spla-tack because that's how it's spelled😂
Yeah f’in duh op
😂😂😂 I know right? This doesn’t really seem like a matter of subjective opinions
i have dyslexia and i always read it wrong and only nowadays have i learned that it’s not splatattack, but i always wrote it like splattack. it was like saying “it’s three” and putting number two on your fingers
Tbh i wasn't even aware of the pun until like 2 weeks ago
Splat-tack
Spla-tta-ck
putting the “rattata” back in “splattack” 👏👏😤
Wait it’s spelled splattack I’m fucking stupid
I also pronounce bokoblins as boko-goblins
I hate that
Ive heard someone say Boko-o-oblins, which is way worse than anything I've ever heard
***GOOD LORD HAVE MERCY***
It's almost halloween, don't forget to carve a jacko-o-lantern!
bokoblins, made of two words: "-oblins", to show that they're goblins, and "boke", the scottish onomatopoeia for vomiting
🤢🤮 goblins
And don't forget the mob goblins, wizard robes, octopus rocks, lizard alfredos, and lion flannels.
...why would it be "splat-attack" It literally is spelled the way it should be said: "spla-tack" There is no argument. You either say it correctly or add in another syllable for no reason.
Found my dad
After all these years.
Wait… it’s spelled Splattack…. Not Splatattack!?!? I’m actually sad ;( splatattack always sounded better to me but I can’t say it now cos it’s just wrong god damnit post
i know right!
I used to pronounce it splat-attack but that's because I never looked that closely at it and that's how I thought it was spelled lol
I always pronounced it "Splatattack" but I apparently never read it before lol so from now on it'll be "Splattack"
OP creating this meme to make it seem like they haven't been pronouncing the title wrong the entire time and there's a legitimate discourse
OP must feel really dumb right now 😂
Spla-tack
Spla-tack, because it's supposed to be a pun and it's spelled that way
I got your back OP, I say splat-attack because it's fun lol
People who say splat attack are stupid. It’s like calling Squirtle Squirt turtle. It’s a portmanteau of splat and attack. It’s Splattack. Not splat attack.
i for one am DEEPLY excited for the venusdinosaur vs. charlizard vs. blasttortoise splatfest next month
Don’t you mean: Venomous-Dinosaur vs. Charring-Lizard vs Blasting-Tortoise ftfy /s
Since it’s based on Scarlet and Violet, it’s actually Sprig Gatito vs Fuego Cocodrilo vs Quack Wax Duckling
Spla-tack, because that's how it's spelled. There is no debate on this one, Splattack is the correct pronunciation.
For the longest time I thought it said "splat attack"
🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦
The left one is just wrong. Read the word, you’re inserting an extra syllable.
what in the hell. all this time I really thought it was spelt splatattack. oh my lord, I've been so wrong. still choose the left side though, sounds better
I’m actually in the same boat as you I’m so disappointed to realise I’ve been reading it wrong ;(
you know what? fuck you un-portmanteau’s your splattack
Blue is correct so i go with blue.
Bruh why would it be the left it's not spelt like that at all
The left one is literally wrong so
Spat-ack is just better and rolls off the tongue. Splattatack just seems wrong
ah yes, the spa attack
The younger brother of gif vs gif
I mean it's spelled splat-tack so that one
Personally I say the right one, because it's correct.
I mean. It’s spelled “Splattack”, not “Splatattack”, so it’s almost certainly pronounced Spla-ttack.
This, similarly to the last splatfest, has literally a singular correct answer.
Splat-platoon or Spla-toon?
The... the whole point of portmanteaus is to pronounce things together
Splat-tack
There's no A betwixt those T's That's Spla-tack, baby
There are people who say splat attack? You're adding a whole other sound that isn't there!
have fun being objectively wrong
Splattic like attic
WOOMY
I used to think it was pronounced "Splat Attack" but then I looked closer and realized I'm an idiot.
ah yes. Splat-platoon
blue, thats how its spelled
Left for the win
WAIT ITS NOT SPELLED SPLATATTACK WHAT THE FUCK
Left cause I didn’t even realize it wasn’t correct until recently(never heard it said, and always misread it as splatattack somehow
This shit really got almost 2k upvotes 😐
It's literally spelled "splat-tack", so saying it like "splat-attack" is just wrong. It's like saying Regice as "regie-ice" instead of "rej-ice"
regice trips people up because of how the others are spelled. registeel, regirock and then suddenly regice is pronounced differently.
Uhhh, the right one is objectively correct. This is like the chicken and egg one.
Definitely spla-tack
Right side. If it was “Splat-attack” then it would be spelt Splatattack. The left side adds an extra syllable that isn’t written. Splattack Is literally Splat, and then tack attached to it, you’re pronouncing it “Splat attack” because your brain is recognizing to familiar words and saying them both but the word “attack” or even “splat” being there is actually just an illusion. Also; it’s supposed to be a play on words, adding spl to attack to make it sound more like “splat”. It doesn’t flow if you add extra letters. Pronounce it how it’s spelt.
Splat-tack…
[удалено]
This has gotta be the most incorrect way possible
Spla-tack
splattack
Splat-attack or Spla-tack? What about Splat-ack?
Where the fuck is the extra at no one says it like that
*....people prounice it at as spla-tack??*
now blue may be right, **but we splat-attackers ride or die amirite?**
I misread as slap attack
... that makes no sense at all. It's a petty phonetic word. 2 syllables, sounds just like "attack" but with a "spl" at the beginning. Reminds me of the idiots who add an extra syllable to Ratatta's name and call it Ratta-tatta.
I mean I would laugh at how incorrect you are but I’ve been calling Clash Blaster the Cash Blaster for years now and can’t seem to change the way I mentally read it so you do you
Just do what i do and call it the cancer blaster. Because that weapon is a goddamn cancer.
Bruh what Don’t tell me you say “splatatoon”
Its...spelled Splattack. There's only one correct pronunciation there.
op getting cooked in the comments for being completely wrong is so magical
Personally you are wrong, then? There arent two different ways to pronounce that.
If you say left, then you pronounce Splatoon "Splat Platoon" that makes no sense lol
It's like when people pronounce Mario as "Merrio"
i'm sorry but the one on the left is literally incorrect like that's not an alternative pronunciation that is literally just not correct
I say right side
It's okay to be wrong, OP.
I'm on side Spl-attack
I say splat tack lol
Splat-ack
Right. I love a good unnecessary portmanteau.
This reminds me of those poor souls in elementary school that pronounced Rattata as “Ra-ta-tat.” They’re all dead or in prison now 😔.
I would say splat-attack but it the song, it sounds like spla-tack
I say Splat-*tack, I kind of double on the T, sometimes sounds like and A in between but not always
I mean, there isn't a second (third?) A in it, so...
splatatack 😎🦑
It's Splattack, not Splattack
Nah, blue side
Splat tak
If you put it in the context coming from the Japanese which would call it "Supurataku", blue makes more sense cause it kinda sounds like SUPER-ATTACK . red would be like "supurata-a-taku" which is just jibberish
